role-playing

I was at Toys R Us shopping for a little cousin the other day and this game was set out for sample play. I saw someone playing the "Skating Board" game and I loved it because it was cheesy and simple (required nothing but jumping at the right time) and reminded me of the original Mario games, which are my all-time favorites! So, I brought the game mostly for that game. The main 5 second games are pretty easy to get through. This is only my second day and I've gone to the 2nd to last stage already. I am not a game genius at all and the only games I've really touched are the Mario games and Tetris, but even at my amateur game skills, I've managed that far so fast already. I think I might get bored of those 5 second games really fast, so I'll just play the Jump Rope and Skating game.

The 5 second games just makes you want to keep trying and trying and trying and trying, so addiction is pretty high, but the price is a bit high for a game that can be beat so easily.

I think this game is targeted to girls more because the game booklet has hearts decorations and even stickers. Even the box reminds me something of Powerpuff, but I think even boys will love it!

This game is a lot of fun! The game centers around completing several 5 second games in rapid succession. These 5-second mini-games include a wide variety of topics, including shaking a dog's paw, cutting meat, hitting rabbits on the head, and matching parts of vegetables. There are over 200 mini-games, and it will take hours and hours of game playing to unlock and complete all of them.

If you are from the "old" NES school (like myself), you will love the mini-games associated with the character "9-Volt". There are mini games based upon such classics as the original Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Hogan's Alley, Duck Hunt, and many more!

Once you unlock a game, you can play that one game as many times as you can in a row. Although this sounds like it should be easy, the game speeds up the action and it becomes very challenging and fun. I've been playing my GBA to kill time waiting in line, because the game is not linear in the traditional fashion.

Enjoyable, challenging, and non-traditional. All great qualities, especially at a time when the best GBA games are primarily re-releases of SNES titles!

This game is really lots of mini games rolled into one. It's a solid original concept. Some of the games make you laugh so hard you nearly wet yourself when you see them for the first time (i.e. finger in the nose) and some can be quasi infuriating at first. I beat the game pretty fast though so I could only give it 3 stars even though thats the only knock on this game.
